Routledge The Experiment in the History of Economics - Routledge Studies

This comprehensive volume examines how experimentation has shaped economic thought throughout history, challenging the misconception that experimentation is impossible within economics. The essays provide rich historical detail exploring laboratory experimentation, the evolution from post-war economics to contemporary practice, contrasting theoretical positions of Friedrich Hayek and Oskar Morgenstern, and socio-economic experiments by Ernest Solvay and Knut Wicksell. Published by Routledge as part of their prestigious Studies in the History of Economics series, this book offers scholars and students critical insights into how economic ideas have been tested, interpreted, and applied across different eras and methodological approaches.
